We are glad to see that the Farmers
Convention for Anderson County will
hold its January meeting ON next Mon.
day, and that they propose discussing
the action of the recent. Legislature upon
the various subjects Of interest TO then.
a fair and candid consideration of the
action of the lawmakers is always the
right Of the people, and will not be out
of place at any time. We have enoug b
confidence in the conservatism and iu-
telligence of the people of Anderson
County to believe that their views upon
public questions will always be valuable
and safe. We hope the meeting on next
Monday will be largely attended by the
farmers from all parts OF the County.

Last Monday was a bitter cold Sales.

Last Monday was bitter cold Sales
day, and was doubtless a severe strain
on the no,license system which went
into operation in Anderson on last Sat.
urday. 1t was fair test of the efficacy
of prohibition, and was, from the stand
point of the advocates of the dry theory,
a great success. There was but one man
seen in the city under the influence Of
.whiskey, and he is said to have brought
his bottle with him, and been we'll pro-
gressed in consuming its contents when
he came in. There was no disturbance
or difficulty, and not single arrest was
made by the police. II is possible that
a little whiskey may have been obtained
on the sly, but its effects did not mani
fest themselves, and many men went
home sober who have not done so in
years Oh saleday in January. So far,
prohibition comes as near prohibiting in
Anderson as any law comes to accom-
plishing its purpose.

A Disappointed Emigrant.

Last night a Constitution reporter had
a shor: talk with Jim Black, South
Carolina colorcd man, who has just re.
turned from Arkansas. He went West
with party of negroes from Fairfield
and Chester counties. They were prom
iscd good places, high wages and perma-
nent jobs, but nearly all were disappoint-
I'd when they reached their destination.
AS many as could return home lost no
time in doing so, but most of them are
still there. Jim Black expresses the
opinion that the negroes are fools to
leave either South Carolina or Georgia
for the inhospitable wids of the West.
He says that they can do better right
here than anywhere else, and he advises
them not to be allured off by plausible
enigrant agents.

Gen. John Alexander Logan, United

Gen. John Alexander Logan, United
States Senator from illinois, and late
Republican candidate for Vice President,
died in Washington on Sunday, Decem-
Der 26, from rheumatism, which attacked
the brain. Gen. Logan was a member
of the Democratic Convention which
met in Charleston in 1860, but afterwards
became one of the most ardent Republi-
cans. he was a brave, outspoken and
manly, though intensely partisan man.
He was rough in manner and expression,
but possessed vigorous intellect. He
was thoroughly honest and pure in public
life. He was one of the most popular
men in American politics.

The two Acts of the Legislature which

The two Acts of the Legislature which
most interest the people of Anderson
County are the Prohibition Election Law,
and the Road Law. The Prohibition
Election Law passed the House just as
it left the Senate, and was therefore pub
lished in the INTELL1GENcER two weeks
ago. The Road Law was amended in the
House SO as to reduce the Eumber oil
days from ten to eight, so that the Law
now stands that the hands shall work not
less than eight, nor more than twelve
days in the year. 1t not necessary that
all the work shall be dono in one cou-
tinuous working, but it can be divided
up into convenient times, as it has been
done heretofore. The House also made
some other changes of minor Importance.
We will publish the new Law as it passed
as soon as we can get a copy oft. We
understand that there is considerable
ieifepce of opinion about the new Road
Law. It has for some time been the
subject of complaint that our public
roads were poorly worked, and this Law
was passed to correct the evil as fer as
possible. If after fair trial, the Law
does not work we'll, the Legislature will
of course repeal it; but we think it will
result in good roads, which will mole
than compensate the people for the trou-
BILE of working them. AS the roads
stand now, from the first of December to
the first of April, our people cannot
average more than half load to or from
market, and even that greatly strains
the vehicles aud stock, besides consum-
ing an unreasonable amount of time.
Bad roads are q severe tax upon the peo-
pie of the country, and should as far as
possible be corrected by our people.

The Target Match.

In accordance with general order
issued by 1t. Col. WardwelI. of the
Second Battalion. M. N. g., target
match was held at Oakland Tuesday
between the officers Zine and staff
and enlisted men who held the high
est percentages in their respective
stations and companies, to compete
for prizes and also for places to de-
termine the eight marksmen who
shall represent the battalion in the
National rife match at Washington
in May.
The match came off at range in
Bishops field, half mile northeast
of town. The attendance was quite
large, considering the inclement
weather. The wind blew a gale dur
ing the shooting. and it is remark
able that such good scores were made.
The total score of each contestant,
at each distance. and his total score
at all the targets is given in the table
below.

Davis, W. Va.

Our town has been somewhat de-
serted this week. quite a number of
our citizens being i'm attendance at
the County Court at st. George.
In our State the power to grant
license to sell liquor rests with the
County Court to be decided at their
option. So that if the temperance
people of the county succeed in elect
ing temperance men as members of
the court, prohibition in that county
is theIneressary result. AS the ques-
ton of granting license was to come
up at the February session of the
court, quite a number of the advo-
Gates of both prohibition and license
from this place were present to pre-.
sent their respective causes. Petitions
pro and con have been circulated
throughout the town for several
weeks, but the petition against license
seems to have been decidedly the
more popular, and before the battle
really commenced before the court,
the whiskey men, seeing the hope
lessness of their cause, gave up the
conflict. and fled the field. The two
saloons here have been the curse of
the place, but their doom is sealed.
Just now we learn that lrohibitory
measures have passed the legislature
of our State, requiring that all license
to sell liquors expire with October
31st, 1887. All the bill now requires
is the signature of the Governor. and
it is a law. s
The business interests of the town
are in thriving condition. and the
outlook for Davis is grand.
The tannery company are already
engaged in extending their building,
and when completed will be the larg-
est tannery in the United States. This
industry alone insures the permanent
prosperity of the place. The large
band saw mill of j. L. Rumbarger &
Co. employees quite large number
of men, and is doing thriving busi-
ness. They manufacture cherry lum-
Der only. The company will soon
put another mill here, and remove
the general Office of the company to
this place.
Quite number of residences are
being erected here, among the num-
Der we might mention those of J. l..
Rumbarger and VIM. r. Chase.
There promises to be quite boom
in building here this spring. 1t is
officially stated that the machine
shops of the w. Va. G. & P. r. r..
are to be erected here this spring.
